Since January 17, 2010 Yellowstone has had the second largest swarm ever recorded. The swarms have been steady at about 10 miles in depth and they have subsided a few days ago.
In the past two days the depth has raised up to around 7 miles and in the past couple hours quakes vastly increased.

Remember this doesnt mean we will see an eruption and it most likely means a normal volcano. It is very unlikely we will see a caldera eruption.
But these changes are significant and cannot be over looked
Some history:
Since the most recent giant caldera-forming eruption, 640,000 years ago, approximately 80 relatively nonexplosive eruptions have occurred. Of these eruptions, at least 27 were rhyolite lava flows in the caldera, 13 were rhyolite lava flows outside the caldera and 40 were basalt vents outside the caldera. Some of the eruptions were approximately the size of the devastating 1991 Pinatubo eruption in the Philippines, and several were much larger. The most recent volcanic eruption at Yellowstone, a lava flow on the Pitchstone Plateau, occurred 70,000 years ago.
yeah it set off two reactionary quakes in Norhtern California of the 4.0 range.
Any reactions in Oregon, Wash, Yellowstone?
thanks for the explaination!
That is the largest harmonic tremor yet. This looks significant
Any fantasies about what the implications are?
this is no fantasy.
Due to the wind pattern Seattle looks to be not so affected at first, then well, who knows
Hmmmm
Here’s a very interesting Quake thread at ATS
with some . . . big predictions.
I understand that.
Let me ask it a different way . . .
What do you believe will be the results, effects?
I forgot the link in my last post to the ATS quake thread:
http://www.abovetopsecret.com/forum/thread547200/pg1
yeap I think you are right.
until we understand time and are able to move or see what is taking place on another time line predictions are nothing more than a guess.
Considering the trend line . . . say an average of those recent quakes in this map here:
http://earthquake.usgs.gov/earthquakes/recenteqsus/Maps/US10/27.37.-120.-110.php
Would the fault likely cause a progression of quakes along that current line to curve South of Bakersfield or what . . .
ASSUMING say the line was extended 2-3 times it’s current length.
Pure speculation, I understand.
depends on the movement in those areas. i live near that line so I have been paying more attention to it. If you notice around Angeles National Forest there has been very little movement so i expect something to move around that area. but I don’t expect it to be huge.
Hmmmm . . . how close? North or South?
If you consider the Hopi sea changes map here . . .
http://www.standeyo.com/index1.html
It looks like they expect a lot of that region to be under water.
Wish the Hopi map had State lines on it.
I keep expecting someone with Photoshop to manage it but so far, no one has stepped up to do that.
THX for your kind reply.
I dont know what to do with you.
You,
my departed mother, both my dads, a significant percentage of my teachers [not the better ones], and sometimes a chunk of my closer friends and many of my pastors . . .
Thankfully, Jesus doesn’t have that problem.
Though in this case . . . I assume you’re saying that my query is so far off your sensibilities as to be mystifying, befuddling and generally derisively dismissable.
No sweat, I’m used to such responses from those who are more . . . uhhhh . . . comfortable living and thinking
INSIDE the box.
The Mexico Quake, caused rather unusual waveforms for a quake of only 7.2 and even more interesting was the waveforms from yesterday afternoon's 5.3!
In my layman's description of the Shadow, imagine a car windshield and a rock hits it at speed. Where the stone hit there will be a large hole or pit, that is the quake’s epicenter. Now as you drive further, you start to notice hairline cracks appearing, that is your aftershocks.
The consequence of each hairline crack is that it lessens the rigidity of the windshield which promotes the hardened glass to be seen more as what it is and that is liquid.
Under these conditions, the windshield will not shatter.
That is the seismic shadow.
I will post later on the stress transfer side of this.
I’m exceedingly ignorant on such things.
However, I’ve read many experts who dispute the ‘glass is liquid’ perspective quite vigorously and convincingly.
